The holidays are a time for gathering—whether it’s around the dinner table with family, around the tree with friends, or simply sharing quiet moments with a good book. But for some, the season can feel a little more solemn. Some of us don’t have big families to celebrate with or are far from loved ones. Others may be going through tough times, and the holiday cheer seems just out of reach. 

At Goodwill, we understand that the holidays don’t look the same for everyone. That’s why we’re here to offer a little bit of wonder. Our book nook, tucked away in our Burlingame store, is filled with books that can take you to new worlds, bring you comfort, and spark your imagination, with prices starting at just 99 cents! The nook also features vintage DVDs and vinyl across genres, perfect for adding some nostalgia or discovering something new. Whether you're interested in history, art, cooking, or adventure, there is something waiting for you, and waiting to be discovered. 

For those moments when you’re seeking a little escape or looking to make memories, Goodwill is a place where you can find more than just a book—you can find joy. A new story to dive into, a new recipe to try, or a new hobby to start. 

This holiday season, we invite you to come visit us at Goodwill for a little extra warmth and wonder. Shop for the perfect holiday gift from an incredible selection of books, vinyl, and more across our stores in the Bay Area. We’re here to offer more than just a bargain—we’re here to offer a little bit of magic and a lot of heart. 

Everyone deserves a little wonder this holiday season. Discover Wonder at Goodwill!
